Jesus espoused personal charity, love and compassion for your neighbor for sure, but I can’t find a scripture reference where he called for the State to be in charge of Charity.
My brother in-law likes to spout this nonsense and up until now I have kept quiet for the sake of family unity, no more. It is absolute blasphemy to compare a pro death, communist to the son of God.
Jimmy Carter said the same thing....
Once they support abortion , the removal of God/Christ from Society/Classroom/public square and now gay marriage , they might just as well eat drink and be merry because Jesus will only say...I never knew you
Back in the 1960s I heard Jesus was a hippie. :)
I think you are a fruitcake, Brian.
In 2008, the libs were saying that Jesus was a community organizer.
So was Hitler.
Whereas socialists just do each other.
“I think Jesus was a socialist,” he said, adding that Republicans “talk Christian values and family values, but they don’t do them.”
Oh my a 56 year old man believes the crap Sanders is spewing. We really are doomed, and this fool thinks the Democratic Party is for Christian and family values?
Well, if you’re a Democrat, you believe that Jesus was a gay socialist. Not the Messiah, but a wise philosopher who believe in progressivism and equal rights for GLBTQXYZ.
Jesus envisioned people helping the poor of their own volition.
He didn’t envision the government stealing their money and handing it to others.
We can see today, why not.
Capitalism works because work is incentivized.
You work, you eat. The harder you work, the more comfortably you life.
If you help others, you hold them to account. They have to do something, to get the hand up. The intent is for them to get back on their feet, become successful, and then help others.
Communism doesn’t work because work is dis-incentivised.
You sit on your ass, you eat. The less you work, the more successful you think you are, because you got the same amount for doing less. You get what you need no matter what. On top of that, you do under the table deals for more income. If can pull of working full time, you do it anyway and don’t tell the government.
Nobody holds you to account. You never plan on getting off of it.
They will all hate Jesus unless he starts to get them votes. I love how every single lefty atheist I know plasters anything the Pope does these days all over Facebook. They spent 5 years trashing any Christian, made nothing but jokes about people that pray, then use the Pope to legitimize their political beliefs.
What’s so sickening about Democrats ... if either blacks or Hispanics (actually, I guess it’s “non-white Hispanics” like George Zimmerman) would become a swing group or people that lean GOP in elections, the N-word and/or any slur dealing with south of the border folk would become fair use on television again. It is so sickening how they use people. Filth.
Nothing new. Back in the 60s college professors were spouting this crap.
Sanders is bringing the reds out of the woodwork.
A lot more of them than you thought, eh, America.
Remember, Obama got all their votes and look what happened to America.
More accurately, He is a monarch.
Socialism and communism are coercive, and subvert free will - essentially making people slaves. Thus neither bear a resemblance to the the intentions of the God that Jesus called Father.
NO, He was not!!
Ironically, socialism is an atheist parody of Christianity and Judaism.
This is why it is so easy for Christians and Jews to get caught up in socialism, because it promises the idealism of “The New Jerusalem”, or “The Garden of Eden”, paradise on Earth created by man for man.
But while the ends of socialism sound similar, in truth their path only leads to destruction and death. Because only in destruction and death is it ever possible to achieve their goals of perfection and equality. But they are more than willing for everyone else to die in pursuit of their fantasies.
Judas - the guy who was intent on saving money for the poor - is often mistaken for Jesus.
Really.. who money did he take against their will and dole out?
